About Amanda
Amanda Lee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with eight years of experience. She focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and grief. Amanda aims to help people move past painful experiences and build a more fulfilling life.
She began her path after working in law enforcement and seeing how often mental health and substance use needs were left unmet. That experience led her to specialize in counseling and addiction work starting in 2015.
Background and approach
Since then she has worked with a wide range of concerns related to trauma, coping with life changes, and relationship challenges. Amanda uses practical approaches in sessions. She leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change behavior.
She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and Client-Centered Therapy to keep the focus on each person's goals. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing are also part of her toolkit to build awareness and strengthen motivation for change. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to what a person needs most that week.
Amanda describes her work as empathic and nonjudgmental, and she identifies as an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community. She helps people with issues such as ADHD, intimacy concerns, parenting strain, first responder stress, and codependency. Amanda aims to support people as they develop practical coping strategies and clearer plans for moving forward.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Amanda commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her practice. CBT helps people spot and reshape unhelpful thoughts and the actions that follow, which can reduce stress and anxiety symptoms. DBT teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication in tense moments.She also integrates Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses conversations around each person's priorities and values so goals come from what matters most to them. Deciding which approaches to use is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences and adjust as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth permits. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging fit shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or times when writing feels most comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between sessions.
